"This is... Thousand-Fan Leaf!"
Upon seeing the Thousand-Fan Leaf, most of the people present couldn't help but shrink their pupils. Even the Dou Di experts in the other private rooms, as well as Dong Chuan was standing by the stands, couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, and their sharp eyes instantly fixed on the Thousand-Fan Leaf in Xiao Yan's hand.
"Indeed, this is Thousand-Fan Leaf. It's just strange, though. This Thousand-Fan Leaf has always been Jin Yao's treasure, and she wouldn't even let outsiders touch it. How could it possibly be in this kid's hands now?"
Dong Chuan stared at the Thousand-Fan Leaf in Xiao Yan's hand with a look of doubt in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
He naturally knew something about the Thousand-Fan Tree, and he understood that Jin Yao valued Thousand-Fan Tree very much. No one except her was allowed to touch it, let alone pluck Thousand-Fan Tree leaf from it.
Even though the Thousand-Fan Tree has withered and died, Jin Yao still regards it as her own possession. However, now that the Thousand-Fan Leaf has appeared in Xiao Yan's hands, it cannot help but cause a sense of surprise in the hearts of everyone present.
His sharp eyes suddenly shifted, and Dong Chuan looked up at a private room in the room, where Jin Yao was.
Being in Yan City and being Dou Di powerhouse, Jin Yao naturally wouldn't miss such an auction feast. At this moment, the curvaceous beauty in a tight red dress was sitting in a private room. When she looked at Xiao Yan on the screen in front of her, a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on her face.
Her luscious red lips trembled slightly, and her fair hands gently pressed against her chest. With each breath, Jin Yao's breasts appeared even fuller, and the red dress accentuated her Jin Yao, making her so breathtaking that a single glance would leave one feeling almost suffocated.
"This guy actually managed to make that sprout grow to this extent in just two days!"
The light, melodious voice from his mouth caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly. However, what Jin Yao didn't know was that she thought the Thousand-Fan Leaf in Xiao Yan's hand was the tender sprout from two days ago. In fact, that tender sprout had already been transformed into a large tree, almost as big as Jin Yao's Thousand-Fan Tree, under the catalysis of Gu You. And this Thousand-Fan Leaf was picked from it.
For two days, Xiao Yan relentlessly and frantically expended the Dou Qi within his body, while Gu You controlled the Life Spirit Flame, maximizing its power.
Hard work pays off. Two days later, Xiao Yan obtained two Thousand-Fan Leaf that were over a thousand years old, as well as many more Thousand-Fan Leaf that were less than a thousand years old. The biggest gain, of course, was the mother plant of these Thousand-Fan Leaf. Xiao Yan now has his own Thousand-Fan Tree!
Xiao Yan made a fortune from his trip to the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, and the Thousand-Fan Leaf in his hand is one of the two Thousand-Fan Leaf he currently possesses.
Of course, all of this is largely thanks to Gu You. If it weren't for his intervention, Xiao Yan probably wouldn't have been able to catalyze the Thousand-Fan Leaf, which is over a thousand years old, even if he had given it his all, within two days.
Thousand-Fan Leaf is something that would even tempt Dou Di powerhouse. Now that Xiao Yan has taken out the Thousand-Fan Leaf, the Dou Di powerhouses in the arena immediately cast greedy glances at the Thousand-Fan Leaf in Xiao Yan's hand.
"Snort!"
Sensing the almost explosive aura emanating from everyone present, Xiao Yan, high in the sky, suddenly let out a cold snort. At the same time, his body trembled violently, and with a thought, a terrifying and vast soul pressure from between his brows instantly transformed into an invisible wave of soul power, sweeping across the entire auction house like a tidal wave. In the blink of an eye, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.
The terrifying soul pressure, under Xiao Yan's mental control, pressed down on everyone present like a giant mountain. Its terrifying aura made everyone breathless, and some of those with weaker strength even fainted on the spot.
At this moment, even the Dou Di powerhouses in the private rooms had changes in their expressions, but without exception, they all felt a sense of solemnity for Xiao Yan at this moment.
Only then did they realize that the black-robed youth standing before them was not just a Six-Star Half-Emperor, but also a Third-Tier Alchemist whom even a Dou Di expert would be wary of!
These kinds of people cannot be underestimated!
On the stands, Xu Songming, his face extremely gloomy, resisted the terrifying soul pressure coming from above. He never expected that Xiao Yan would be able to produce the Thousand-Fan Leaf. In this way, no matter how unwilling Xu Songming was, he would probably have no choice but to leave in a huff.
"Hehe, sir, there will absolutely be no robbery within my Heavenly Cloud Auction House. You can rest assured about that. Therefore, I hope you can withdraw your Spiritual Strength, after all, this auction still needs to continue."
Just then, Fang Qian's gentle laughter drifted over, like the chime of an Old Gu bell, echoing throughout the auction hall.
Upon hearing Fang Qian's words, Xiao Yan lowered his gaze and happened to see the latter looking at him with a smile, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture. Xiao Yan then nodded slightly, and with a thought, withdrew the Spiritual Strength that had been spread out.
Now that Fang Qian had given him a way out, he naturally wouldn't make a fool of himself any further. He had already achieved the deterrent effect he wanted, and he believed that these Dou Di would no longer easily try to take advantage of him. As for those Half-Emperor level experts, Xiao Yan didn't take them seriously at all.
With the power he currently possesses, apart from experts at the Dou Di level and above, Xiao Yan no longer takes ordinary Half-Emperor seriously.
"Hehe, everyone, is there anyone willing to offer a higher price than this gentleman? If not, then I hereby declare that this Blazing Flame Flower is the winner of today's auction!"
At this moment, Fang Qian's old face was full of smiles; Xu Songming's defeat seemed to be something that made him quite happy.
"Snort!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Songming couldn't help but snort angrily. Although he was filled with resentment, he could only vent his anger. In front of Xiao Yan, no matter how imposing he was in the past, he could not withstand the latter's dazzling brilliance.
After cursing inwardly, Xu Songming could only leave the auction house with a grim expression and angrily flicking his sleeve.
As for the people on the stage, because of Xiao Yan, they had long forgotten about Xu Songming, and no one even knew that he had left.
Inside the private room, Xiao Yan's smile gradually widened until he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. This caused Murong Qianqian was standing next to him, to also show a happy smile on her pretty face. Meanwhile, outside, a new round of auctions began.
After the Blazing Flame Flower incident, the atmosphere in the auction house became increasingly heated. As each item was brought to the stage, the crowd in the stands became more and more excited. At the same time, Fang Qian's old face showed a brighter smile. As for the group of Dou Di experts in the private boxes, although there was some competition, they were still in the minority.
Until a certain moment, in a private room that had been silent for a long time, the middle-aged man whose eyes had been tightly closed finally opened them slowly once again. At the same time, a sharp and domineering cold light flashed from the depths of his pupils.
The moment the middle-aged man opened his eyes, the void around him trembled slightly.
"How's the investigation going?"
His words were devoid of any emotion, yet they were enough to make the void tremble, until it was on the verge of collapse.
"Chief, my investigation confirms your suspicions. These two individuals did indeed come from the east. Judging by the timeline, they arrived here from Sulan City exactly two days ago. It's certain that the two people our ancestor spoke of are them."
"Crunch..."
As a soft whisper fell, the middle-aged man's fair hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, suddenly clenched tightly, and an uncontrollable killing intent surged wildly from his eyes.
"Chieftain, should we...?"
"Step back! This is Heavenly Cloud Auction House territory. Even the people from the Four Great Sects cannot easily make a move here, let alone us... Just wait. After the auction ends, this clan leader will personally meet this Third-Tier Alchemist!"
